Helmsman Bosun Queen 55
Bosun Queen 55 with RORC certification (expired), built in GRP in Sweden, this large ketch is a capable and safe blue water cruiser, comfortable with either gentle cruising or racing. Her pedigree from the quality of build and on board refinements are evident through out and testament to the HELMSMAN shipyard, the Bosun Queen has very much the styling and quality of build likened to the Nautor Swan. Indeed, she even carry's the characteristic Swan Arrow on the topsides.

Owner's comments: We sailed on this superb sailboat for several years as a couple, with a young child on board. Fast and seaworthy, this large Ketch has quality fittings that allowed us to handle without any additional crew. Our circumstances have changed, and it is time to say fair winds to whoever takes her helm.
Serious sailors only need to see her once to fall in love and imagine blue-water cruising and worldwide adventures.... early viewings recommended, there are few opportunities left to own a yacht of this pedigree.
